Hi everyone, I recently replaced the oil pan gasket and oil intake tube seal but in the process I had to disconnect the power steering line at the rack to make enough clearance to drop the pan in addition to dropping the differential a bit too but not entirely.
I reconnected everything so I thought and started the engine up and everything ran perfectly until I started hearing gurgling about 30 seconds later. When I looked under the truck I found power steering fluid leaking like crazy. It was almost as if I hadn't reconnected the line which I know I did.
Please see attached video of where it's leaking.
Any ideas on what I can do? I tried to find a replacement line but all I get is the fluid hoses but not these metal lines. Whenever I try and tighten it the nut seems to just not want to tighten on the threads anymore. Any help is appreciated.
